Light, tender crepes made with wholesome oats for a nutritious breakfast or brunch.
# What You’ll Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 1 cup rolled oats
02 - 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
03 - 1/4 tsp salt
→ Wet Ingredients
04 - 2 large eggs
05 - 1 1/2 cups milk (dairy or unsweetened almond milk)
06 - 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
07 - 1 tsp vanilla extract
08 - 2 tbsp melted coconut oil or unsalted butter (plus more for cooking)
# Directions:
01 - Add rolled oats to a blender and pulse until finely ground to a flour-like consistency.
02 - Add whole wheat flour and salt to the blender. Pulse once to combine with the oat flour.
03 - Add eggs, milk, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil (or butter). Blend until smooth. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
04 - Heat a nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with oil or butter.
05 - Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, tilting to spread evenly into a thin layer.
06 - Cook for 1–2 minutes until the edges lift and the bottom is lightly golden.
07 - Flip the crepe and cook for another 30–60 seconds. Transfer to a plate and cover with a clean towel to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter.
08 - Serve warm with fresh fruit, yogurt, nut butter, or a drizzle of honey as desired.
# Top Tips:
01 -
- These crepes taste indulgent but pack the nutritional goodness of whole grains and fiber
- The batter comes together in minutes and cooks up impossibly tender
02 -
- The batter must rest those few minutes or your crepes will tear when you try to flip them
- If the first crepe sticks your pan needs more heat before adding the next one
03 -
- Use a measuring cup with a spout for pouring the most precise circles
- If batter seems too thick add milk one tablespoon at a time until it flows easily
